12-12-12 and a Snowman Glyph Writing Activity

Hello fellow 5th grade teachers!

I have a couple FREEBIES to share with you:

1. Snowman Glyph Writing Activities

I'm not sure if you've ever done a glyph before, but if you haven't, you should try one because I love them! It gives kids (even upper elementary) practice following directions, discerning personal experience and connecting it to their work, and gives them an outlet to show their personality and find commonalities with classmates.Then, to connect it to the curriculum, I added a writing prompt, graphic organizer, and paper to write the final draft of their "Snowman Adventure"

You can download this FREE 5-page packet by visiting my (NEW!) TpT store by clicking here: Snowman Glyph Writing Activities

2. It's coming this week...

It won't come again for 100 years...

Are you ready?!?

That's right - it's 12-12-12!

To celebrate, I've come up from a FREE list of 12 activities to try on 12-12-12. Teachers, you can pick and choose which activities to do throughout the day as a whole class, it can be a station at a literacy or math center, or it can be a take-home assignment on which the students receive points for each box they complete.

Here's what the sheet looks like:
